Canon "Rebel With A Cause: Anna Akana" (2016) 2;57 (USA)

Anna Akana took tragedy and turned it into comedy. Her younger sister was bullied to the point where she committed suicide. As a way to deal with pain and hopefully help others in the process, she and the Groundlings worked with other kids who are victims of bullying to speak out and stand up-- literally. She's teaching them to use their experience in stand up routines. Inspiring story as part of Canon's "Rebel With A Cause" series.
